Periodic Table Trends Periods Groups Similar Atoms

As you move down a column on the periodic table atoms get bigger. This is because ____________.

• the atoms have more mass.

• the atoms have more protons.

• the atoms have more energy levels.

• the atoms have more neutrons.

As you move from left to right across a row on the periodic table atoms tend to get smaller because, ______________.

• the atoms have more mass.

• the atoms have less mass.

• the atoms have more protons.

• the atoms have less electrons.
